Do they take insurance

I didn't get a referral, and I'm not sure which insurances they accept or not. I would check online and then maybe call the office? Google "mount Carmel west bariatric center"

The Bariatric Centers of Excellence are a great place to start, I agree with ewhitt!

At my surgeon's center, they held free surgery seminars to give people basic information about their surgery options, then we filled out some contact info which was used to set up preliminary appointments. I got my referral from my primary care doctor very easily--I think it only took me one phone call. If your friend has a solid history of weight issues, her doctor will probably refer her with no trouble.

As far as insurance goes, every policy and company are different. The surgeon's office will help her a lot with getting her request submitted and approved. Wish her good luck from me!
